Welcome to 2020, and with 2020 comes the time to file your taxes. As a Brownsville, Texas resident, you want to ensure that you receive everything you deserve, but you also want to ensure that you receive it fast and without a problem. That's why at Garduno Tax & Accounting, we maximize your tax refund by providing you with every deduction, exemption, and credit you deserve. But what do you do once you file? The wait can be long, but the IRS provides a way for you to check your tax refund status for free.
You can check the status of your refund by clicking here: https://sa.www4.irs.gov/irfof/lang/en/irfofgetstatus.jsp
Make sure you have the following information:
- Your Social Security Number
- Your ITIN Number (for those without a social security number)
- Your exact refund amount (must be the exact amount as provided by the accountants at Garduno Tax)
Please keep in mind that you must provide the information above to receive the status of your tax refund. Refund information will be available 24 hours after the IRS has accepted your tax return. At Garduno Tax & Accounting, we file your return electronically. That means that the status of your return will be available within a few days. If you file your taxes by completing paper forms, then you should allow 4 weeks to pass before checking the status of your return.
You will be able to check the refund information for the current tax year filed. Please note: Information regarding Amended Tax Returns and Amended Individual Income Tax Returns are not available through the status to check at the IRS website.
Tax refund information will be available until December for people who filed before July 1. If you filed your taxes after July 1, your tax refund information will be available until you file a current tax year tax return.
The IRS typically makes your refund available to you within 21 days of accepting your tax return. That's why at Garduno Tax & Accounting we recommend for you to file electronically. Your tax return gets filed and processed faster. Make sure that you provide our accountants with all the correct information to avoid any delays. If it has been more than 21 days since you filed, the reasons for the delay could be due to many different factors:
- Is incomplete
- Identity Theft
- Fraud
- Filed for an Earned Income Tax Credit
- Filed for an Additional Child Tax Credit
- Included a 8379 Form (can take up to 14 weeks to process)
- Needs further review
Keep in mind that calling the IRS will not make them provide your refund any faster. IRS representatives can only research the status of your refund. If your refund is lost or stolen you can file a claim online for a replacement after 28 days from the date the refund marked as sent.
If you live in Brownsville, Texas, the time to file your taxes is rapidly approaching. To ensure you receive your tax refund on time, file your taxes with us at Garduno Tax & Accounting. We eliminate any problems you may face with the IRS and we ensure that you receive every penny you deserve on your tax refund this tax season.
